Would any of you drive a car made by Darwin's ideas?

Would any of you drive a car made by Darwin's ideas?
I build machines, am involved in design, and testing.
We make intensive effort to eliminate all randomness from our products.

Every machine begins with an idea and a bank of historical engineering knowledge, plus thousands of hours of development.
This is the real world.
Not the land of Academia.

Recently, one of the engineers said that a suggestion from the 6Sigma people was to take one of the bearings we are dealing with- walk it around the yard and put it back in the machine.
To test "Randomness". We all laughed at such idiocy.
Then, I thought- where would such a stupid idea come from?
Where else? From school.
Now, who is up for owning a Darwinmobile?
